The Perfect Island Getaway: Samujana In Thailand

Thailand has hundreds—hundreds!—of islands. They are found in the Gulf of Thailand, the Andaman Sea, and in the dreams of the 27 million tourists that came to Thailand in 2013.

Let that sink in for a minute. 27 million people.

From all over the globe, people are traveling to Thailand to get a break from their regular lives and to have a taste of their own personal island getaway. The internet is full of their photos and their stories; they are all telling of the best places to go.

How do you pick your own perfect island getaway with all of these opinions out there?

WHAT MAKES A PERFECT ISLAND GETAWAY?

Because Thailand has such a huge variety of things to do (eat, swim, snorkel, hike, shop, sail, beach bum, relax, sightsee…) and has become so incredibly popular, your definition of a perfect island getaway might differ from the next fellow.

It’s likely that we can all agree on a few qualities of that ideal place, though. Any list of required qualities of a perfect island getaway would probably include:

1. Accessibility.

This is your vacation, and while you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, you’re not exactly signing up for extreme adventure. You’d like to go someplace where you can actually get there without too much trouble.

2. Freedom.

Here’s a guess: people looking for the perfect island getaway are probably trying to get away from the rigid rules and routine of working life. Vacation, after all, shouldn’t be lived according to a schedule on a clipboard. You definitely want to go somewhere that gives you the freedom to sleep in late, stay up late, or get up early and explore. There is no room for a strict and enforced schedule on a vacation and our villas were built with that in mind.

3. Fabulous Weather.

If you live in the northern latitudes of the globe, enough said. You want some place warm where you don’t have to bundle up just to go outside. For the rest of you, the extremes of hot or cold aren’t appealing, either. Let’s all agree that we want to have some warm air stirred up by fresh ocean breezes and plenty of sun. That sounds like the perfect day.

4. Adventure.

We all crave a bit of adventure. Whether on land, on the water, under the water, or high on a hill, we’re looking to make memories, take photographs, and tell unbelievable stories when we get back home.

5. People.

It’s hard to have a good time and a great party if there are no other people around. For those of you who think that meeting new people is just about the best thing there is, having plenty of warm bodies around is a must. Without the attention from other people and opportunity to connect, even the sun won’t be able to coax a smile on your face.

6. No People.

Let’s face it, though. It’s great to have parties and to hang out, but too many people is still too many people. What fun is a crowded beach or a noisy balcony full of people blocking the view and the breeze? There’s no shame in admitting you also crave your own space and time away from the rest of the tourists. You have some appointments to make with you, a drink, and a brilliant moon over the ocean. No crowd invited.

7. No Stress.

A vacation is a terrible place to lose your cool. It’s a reality, though, that vacations can be the source of a peculiar headache, one that is all wrapped up in planning, booking, travel arrangements, accommodations, and making sure everyone in your group is happy and occupied. No thanks. That perfect island getaway definitely needs to be stress-free.

Now, where can you find an island that’s going to give you all of that perfection, and place to stay that you can think of as your own?

Samujana on Koh Samui: it’s a match made in heaven.
